Premium Times: Dasuki Paid Okupe's Companies to Hack 'Unfriendly' Sites

Information reaching is that Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, reportedly paid companies linked to Doyin Okupe, a former media aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, at least N1.6 billion to hack ‘unfriendly’ websites.
 Two companies linked to Doyin Okupe, a former media aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, got at least N1.6 billion off the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in three shady cyber security contracts, PREMIUM TIMES investigations have shown.
 One of the contracts had instructions to hunt down unfriendly media websites with Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
 It was a project conceived to shut down online media platforms perceived as friendly to Buhari or critical of Mr. Jonathan ahead of the 2015 election.
 The other was a contract to intercept all optic fibre cables landing in Nigeria. The third was a passive mass and target GSM interception that had the ability to decrypt ciphers and operate undetected. Mr. Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Mr, Jonathan, has so far evaded scrutiny in the ongoing arms contracting scandal where the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, is charged for allegedly mismanaging funds meant for the fight against Boko Haram in Nigeria’s northeast region.
